Well done to Ped and the team, I think the new features are a big step forward. Thank you very much for all your hard work.

I like that his bass has SLAP written on it, in case he forgets. It's what I'd like to do to his face, too.

Yeah, curry night would get me through the door quicker than the false praise for the other two

I'd say put an a trade ad up and go for a SS1. The LX is nice, but really get an SS1 if you can. Trust me on this

I had just noticed this on my profile too, good to know what's going on

I get through them all regularly, some are more favoured than others but they all get a look in. They all play and sound differently so I have no problem justifying their presence to myself

I just mash my fabulous hair into a hat shape, it's almost a good as a real hat. OK, 38% as good. OK, 14% as good.

[quote name='Green Alsatian' timestamp='1316635371' post='1380825'] Aye, I remember Raw Power - do you remember it when it was The Power Hour, with Zoidzilla on the opening titles? Ah memories - I'd get in between 1-2am from my glass-collecting job, catch the end of the James Whale Radio Show, whatever Sci-fi series was on (Friday The 13th, Twilight Zone etc.) and then wait up for the Power Hour/Raw Power. I had a proper crush on Nikki Groocock back then! Award yourself five points if you're still awake! [/quote] That was my life from ages 14-18 And, yes, Nikki Groocock, yes please.

[quote name='daz' timestamp='1316624621' post='1380594'] There arent too many albums that one hears and knows straight away that it is something special. but this was definately one of them. [/quote] This. I still remember hearing Smells Like Teen Spirit for the first time on Raw Power (anyone remember that?) sandwiched between the hairsprayed fluff it destroyed almost overnight. It's a truly great album, simple as that. It doesn't need beatification or justification. It is what it is. As for that article, it felt like some furrowed brow journo trying to conjur up a story where there wasn't one. Who gives a sh*te what classification it is or isn't? It's just a collection of brilliant tunes.

Including the shipping price. The Man will take whatever he can get his hands on. The ad quotes USPS as the courier, so that should end up with Royal Mail's parcel division. Over here, they take cash at the door, though it may be different for you in the UK.

Add about 25%, that's what you'll pay the postie before he hands it over to you.

Streamer LX, quite a few have sold recently in the classifieds section, you should be able to get rough pricing there. Have a look on the Warwick website to date it http://www.warwick.de/modules/support/serials.php

Some great figuring on that, very nice!

Why not try a 51 style P, just to ease your conscience?

Looks great, thanks guys!

For every ad you see, substitute "old" in for "vintage" and "wear" for "mojo" if it's there. Suddenly the ads don't seem so alluring, though possibly more grounded in the real world.

Sweet

I've never been too hot on neck through either, but in the case of the SS1 I'm finding myself really not having a problem with it in the slightest

For the price Warwicks are going for second hand I'd say look for a SS1, there is just something very special about them even compared to the LX, and the price really is right at the moment. But I'd say live with the Jazzman for a while. There must've been something there to make you get the J, let the glow fade a little with the Streamer and make sure it's a long term thing you've got going on

I'd say you need to hear some Q-Tuners if you're after clarity, they're the spankiest pickups I've ever played.

Apologies, read it incorrectly I think the general gist is that you can run a much weaker pickup and then use an internal pre to boost the signal, meaning less noise, flatter response and greater clarity, less magnetic pull too. The output of the LX is greater but I'm sure there's a trim pot on the pre on both which can control the overall output.

There's a third cable running to each pickup coming from the battery, both the pickup and the preamp need to be powered, like an EMG really - I think they had just moved to MEC from EMG as standard shortly before it was built. On the LX, just the preamp requires power.
